As pregnancy rumours continue to swirl, Beyoncé is keeping her tummy firmly under wraps. The 33-year-old singer was pictured enjoying a date night with husband Jay Z at a basketball game in New York this week, where she further fuelled reports that she is expecting a second child by keeping her hands clasped over her stomach.

Dressed all in black, Beyoncé arrived at the Barclays Center covered up in a trench coat and trilby hat. After taking her courtside seat next to her long-term partner, she did remove her outer garment – but did seem to be intentionally keeping her tummy hidden from view.

The picture shows the star buried in sand on the beach – with a big bump on her stomach. Her 23.6 million Instagram followers immediately began to speculate if this was the singer’s way of announcing her pregnancy.

Michelle categorically denied the pregnancy rumours during an appearance on The View on Monday. “You know, when she was pregnant, people said she wasn’t pregnant, and you know, it’s just no truth to it, sorry!” the singer said.

“First of all, if you look at the picture, the baby bump is probably where her knees probably really are… Just stop it. Stop it.”
